Virginia-based IT company Arthur Grand Technologies’ settlements with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Labor (DOL) regarding a discriminatory “whites only” job posting offer key takeaways regarding company liability and reputation risks.
Arthur Grand was assessed a $7,500 penalty by the DOJ and agreed to pay $31,000 in compensation to individuals who filed complaints with the DOL regarding the posting, which was advertised on Indeed in April 2023. The agencies opened their investigations shortly after, determining the company discriminated based on citizenship status and national origin.
